Literally I was like bruh she ran more than like most humans run in their entire life in a few months!!!!!

ha HA YESS...thank you so much for watching

Haha yessss best analogy!

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

[@amsells]

“It doesn’t need to be marked by medals but it needs to be marked by giving everything I possibly can.” You put into words how I approach each race. I love the strategy of being patient and using wisdom, so crucial in life 💕

[@stalinxrd]

Sally congratulations I'm watching from India cheers u. Made it😊

[@joe1071]

The mental fortitude to carry on with wrecked feet early on is absolutely incredible. Knowing you haven’t even started racing and your feet are trashed, and that once racing they will get even worse is a giant mountain to climb mentally

[@daveebert7747]

I don't race, I dont even run but this is one of the most inspiring, motivational films I have seen. It proves we are all more capable then we think we are. Crossing the finish line of life with nothing left in us is a worthy goal. I don't run, but I do cycle long distances..........."patience & wisdom" will be a new mantra. Thank you for giving so much.

[@sarahhendrickson9795]

“Feelings don’t control what I do” 🎉

[@vanessarook7123]

Hi Sally! I hope you see this! I decided to start training for a half marathon in September (couch to half marathon, the only “long distance” running I had ever done in my life was a 5k that I did when I was in 5th grade) and I’m using the Nike Run Club app and you happened to be a coach for one of my runs! I remember you talking about how you do ultra marathons and I was like “wow how does she do it. I’m doing a speed run that’ll end up being less than 3 miles at the ends and I am feeling WHOOPED” and it made me feel as though I was falling behind in the training because I was so many weeks in and I still found some of my 3-4 mile runs difficult. But then I found your channel and started watching all your ultra marathons and it opened my eyes that everyone is going to struggle. Everyone will feel behind at time. Everyone will get leg pain during a run. Everyone will need to stop to walk for a little before starting again. Everyone has off days. But there is no reason to back down just because of that. I remember you said “you only have to run at mile pace for 30 seconds. Since I do ultra marathons a mile is so easy!” And I was like “well not for me” but looking back at it, it was! It really was! Because it is easy for ANYONE as long as you have the right mindset. It took me so long to realize that I don’t have to be the BEST at it, I just have to get it done. And that is okay. Watching your videos and seeing you struggle has genuinely helped me so much to learn that when I struggle, that is human nature. And now, I can run 10 miles with ease :)

[@alexvalles4153]

Good luck

[@jer.milasot95]

That hit me right in the feels. LETSGO Vanessa! Keep it up ❤

[@hanapetr9894]

Hey ho, Vanessa! I am in the same situation like you 1 year ago. How was your Halfmarathon?? 🎉

[@lexuslopez2523]

For her to not think she’s an incredible athlete is unfathomable to me. Sally you are the epitome of what it means to be an athlete! I was overwhelmed with emotion to witness your accomplishments. You’ve inspired me to carry your mindset throughout the duration of my life! Sending you lots of love ❤

[@brianshaver3855]

I’m in awe of Sally! This feat isn’t something I can comprehend. A marathon hurts, this is unbelievable to me. I run because of the motivation and inspiration from Sally McRae! Great job, I can’t wait to see what’s next! This film gives me chills! ❤

[@sallymcraestrength]

appreciate you watching Brian!

[@BaileyCroffordMusic]

Absolutely sobbing at the beauty of this. Sally was the first to inspire my running journey. She encourages me to choose strong in every aspect of life. Sally, you’re a gift from God. Thank you for being you. Never stop.

[@sallymcraestrength]

appreciate you sharing that! thank you so much....keep going!

Always so much crying at the end of these videos!

You’re such an inspiration. I just finished my second half marathon and it tool 3:40. I’m better then I was 5 minutes ago! Thank you for posting your videos.

[@rollie5579]

This brought me to tears for what human beings can accomplish. Sally you had so many nuggets of wisdom that I won't soon forget, thank you for your inspiration!!!!!!!!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Really appreciate you watching! Thank you!

[@erand1564]

15 minutes in and blown away by the quality of this film!

[@bodyofgratitude]

Go, Sally, Go! 💛 favorite moments: 3:45 - "I had two words for this race: PATIENCE & wisdom" 20:40 - "we're leaving in first place" (let's go!!!) 28:46 - "I always think about the story I want to tell after a race" 30:28 - "we win because of our mindset" 32:11 - "I want to get to the last finish line of my life and knowing that I gave every ounce of who I am" 32:33 - nothing better than a Sally McRae finish line celebration! the moments that I replay in my mind when I think about how I want to feel at the end of a race! Cannot wait to continue to cheer you on in 2024. You're an inspiration to us all!

[@VincentForDesign]

I'm a cyclist, I have watched a tons of ultra cycling videos and films, there's one time I was thinking "if people do the distance by running, that will be totally insane!", the prophet KZbin probably heard my thoughts, then I stumbled upon this video. It's really nuts mindblown🤯 I'm amazed by how well articulated you're to express those complex feelings and thoughts you had during the race, it made the storytelling so so so much better, especially to those audience like me who knows nothing about running, able to have a glimpse on what was happening. Truly amazing!

[@davidadean12]

Sally continues to make the extraordinary look normal. 4 200+ mile ultras in one year is an accomplishment that will rarely be replicated, if ever. Simply unbelievable and beyond awesome! Thanks for allowing us to tag along for the ride this past year, Sally. Watching these adventures made me feel as though I was right there with you and no doubt inspired others as you have me! Much love and respect to you and Eddie! Wish you many blessings in 2024.

[@chasewade6482]

Dropped 4 hours ago and already 8,000 of us sickos have watched it. God I love this sport.

[@philipwhite8353]

The pain that she can endure….. it is beyond my comprehension. Simply amazing

[@MrMarako]

I have only ever run a 40 km “marathon” (only 25 miles), yet I got all emotional watching this video. It feels so personal and so relatable. Mind over body is truly a fantastic mantra. Thanks for the incredible inspiration 🙏🏻

[@animaloverdani10]

I swear that ultras showcase humanity at it's best. Pushing limits, respecting each other, and appreciating nature. So so cool

[@nothingsimpostleble1593]

Right!! People in the running community are soooo freaking humble I swear... People who do crossfit and ultramans can be dbags forsure

[@yongdongyou3128]

So inspiring! I'm pushing 60, but you inspired me to do at least one ultra before I die.

[@samhopton8242]

An absolute inspiration. I hope you can understand the positive change you’ve made in so many lives, just by being who you are. Congratulations and THANK YOU!

[@Coach_13]

As someone whose finished this race in 2021…. Encapsulating the highs & lows of 240 miles within 34 minutes is a challenge… Incredible Work Sally! Joe and Sarah are the best team members ever!

[@GarminPro]

I wish more ultra running athletes did videos this well. I love watching these race journeys. Even if you arent a runner its still popular.

[@SergioSerranoMusic]

You are the reason I started trail running. Got my first longer distance (for me) 19 miles. Taking it one race and distance at a time

[@Gator35]

Sally McRae is just what the doctor ordered when you signed up for your first ultra on New Year's Eve. Thank you Sally!!!

[@salmonella508]

Two months ago I watched and commented on the Tahoe 220. What I said then, applies now. Out of the 33:43 run time, your best comment was “on paper, I’m done”. I knew that was your body talking but your will to succeed had a different plan. Once again a monumental, beyond human performance. Truly inspiring.

[@hondodayz7482]

Simply said: She made me speechless. Wish u all the best for 2024. May all of you cross some personal finish-lines, wherever they are. Greetings from germany.

This is crazy but also what I imagine my heaven would be like- just run in the beauty of nature for days and days…..so inspiring all the highs and lows.

It's just beautiful to see that genuine hard work pays off at the end. Sally, may all the good energies of the Universe be with you and your followers as well!🙏

[@gibsonlespaulspecial]

Inspirational! I watched this before going on my long run......a pathetic 14km's but you watch this and you know not to complain or doubt you're doing 40% more than your previous long run. 18 weeks to London (just got in). Ran a few slow Marathons but 2024 was a terrible Year for me and this motivates enormously!

[@harrisonalways]

Tears. All the emotions..I’m so moved by Sally and her determination. Well done

[@maureencurran7957]

I watched the previous two films on my laptop, and I’m so glad I watched this on my husband’s nice big-screen TV. What a visually beautiful film! You captured Sally’s tremendous journey as well as the raw beauty of Moab. Wonderful!

[@RebeccaEWebber]

I've been living (and attempting to recover from) a limbic system impairment for 9 years now which basically means I'm extra tired and sensitive all the time because my body thinks I'm in danger even when I'm not. I spend a lot of time resting in bed and videos like these completely light me up! I may not be able to jog a mile, but I love seeing people push the limits of what humanity can do. I am also really inspired by your mental fortitude. Whether it's racing 240 miles or making it day after day with chronic illness, it is out mindsets that really make all the difference. Cheers to you and your continued success!

[@prettyprettybirdie314]

I'm recovering from Long Covid and feel the same way about these videos :) Wishing you continued success in your recovery as well!

[@RebeccaEWebber]

@@prettyprettybirdie314 I'm so sorry you have to live through that! I hope you recover soon too. Something interesting about long COVID is it has a lot in common with the conditions I have and researchers are learning more about what could help me as there is funding for long COVID research. 🤞🏼

[@MattRunsColorado]

Oh Sally, I'm so proud of you. I feel like I've come along with you on this journey through the podcasts, book, videos, and now these films. You're an incredible testimony to perseverance and grit. Keep choosing strong my friend, and I'll do the same.

You are amazing. We love you Sally! I’m watching this at 03:30, having just had knee surgery following nearly a year out from running after an injury going into my first ultra. It was a great race but now it’ll be a slow and steady road ahead. Watching these videos are so inspiring. Patience is definitely key right now 😃💪 Thank you Sally.

Great job Sally! I am a 15 year old who runs track and XC as a distance runner and I’ve struggled through injuries a lot lately and your documentaries inspire me to keep running during my recovery and not give up hope that I can get faster again and actually compete. You’re amazing and I hope you know that 🫶

[@smileyhappyradio]

Wow, I'm going...you won't catch her, when you passed the first place runner. That's amazing Sally, how focused you were on what needed to happen and when. The trouble breathing though. That is scary. It really was mind over miles. So many takeaways from this for marathoners and non-marathoners alike. Keep on climbing Sally. Great documentary, summing up what is really like out there.

[@jeffreyrobbins688]

Ma'am, your performance was absolutely outstanding, and thank you for the exceptional video. You serve as a great inspiration to this 61-year-old who has only accomplished a 50-miler so far.
